Ammo Bros is proud to announce that tomorrow we will be opening the doors to our new law enforcement store. This store will include lots of off list firearms, hi capacity magazines, duty gear, le ammunition, and other items not sold in our regular stores.

780 S. Rochester ave.
Ontario, CA 91761

Hours: M-F 10-6 (closed on weekends)

The store will be open to LE, fire, EMT, and security personnel. Not all items will be available to everyone allowed in.

I'm no expert but it sounds legit. If regular stores could sell glocks for $400 to cops, wouldn't they all do it? I've also been trying to find items like Winchester ranger SXT ammo but am told that Winchester will not allow it to be sold to anyone but law enforcement.

Off list guns and hi cap mags we can't buy anyway so who cares! As far as other duty gear I'm not sure what they mean but maybe it's in their regular stores as well. I've seen lots of duty gear in Cerritos recently.

All that is just licenses. The cerritos store can supply le agencies with full autos, silencers or whatever else they need, and we can sell AWs to LEO with letters, but we can not sell certain items such as glock blue label cause anyone can come into our store.

Warrior One in Riverside is open to the public. Anyone can walk in, They also participate in the Glock Blue Label program. So I'm not sure about that statement. Not trying to kick you guys in the balls or anything. Good luck.

From what we were told we are not able to sell the Glock blue labels in our regular stores unless it was for GSSF. Maybe other stores are breaking the rules.

Besides Glock though there are other contracts we are going to be trying to obtain so we can not only service LEOs but also the departments. Two companies I can think of off the top of my head that won't allow us to have civilians in the store if we offer these certain LE dept only products are Winchester and Taser. Both companies have a huge LE market that they are very strict with. I challenge any store open to the public to call them and get their restricted product (it won't happen).

The point of the LE store is not to keep the public away. Our regular store is right next to the LE store and anything sold in the LE store that is legal for civilians to purchase is available in our regular store. What won't you see...Off roster guns, hi cap mags, batons, switchblades, and things of that nature.

The reason we are opening this store is to get into a market we were previously not able to get into. If we want to be able to sell LE restricted items (like certain Taser, Winchester and Federal product lines) this is what we had to do. There are also certain companies that would not allow us into their LE discount program till we had a LE only store such as S&W.

What won't you see...Off roster guns, hi cap mags, batons, switchblades, and things of that nature.

You do realize there is no legal exemption for selling switchblades greater then 2" to LEOs right?

guilty of a misdemeanor:
(a) Possesses the knife in the passenger's or driver's area of any
motor vehicle in any public place or place open to the public.
(b) Carries the knife upon the person.
(c) Sells, offers for sale, exposes for sale, loans, transfers, or
gives the knife to any other person.

or is released by the weight of the blade or by any type of
mechanism whatsoever. "Switchblade knife" does not include a knife
that opens with one hand utilizing thumb pressure applied solely to
the blade of the knife or a thumb stud attached to the blade,
provided that the knife has a detent or other mechanism that provides
resistance that must be overcome in opening the blade, or that
biases the blade back toward its closed position.

Thank you for bringing this law to my attention. We do not have any and have not started selling any as of yet but we had planned on it based on the fact that we were told LE was exempt. We will look into this more before we make a final decision.

Wouldn't this be the exemption?

12020(b)(12) The sale to, possession of, or purchase of any weapon, device, or ammunition, other than a short-barreled rifle or short-barreled shotgun, by any federal, state, county, city and county, or city agency that is charged with the enforcement of any law for use in the discharge of their official duties,

or the possession of any weapon, device, or ammunition, other than a short-barreled rifle or short-barreled shotgun, by peace officers thereof when on duty and the use is authorized by the agency and is within the course and scope of their duties.

Seems like it falls in line with selling AWs. Dealers can legally sell AWs to departments and can sell them to LE with a letter.

12020(b)(12) The sale to, possession of, or purchase of any weapon, device, or ammunition, other than a short-barreled rifle or short-barreled shotgun, by any federal, state, county, city and county, or city agency that is charged with the enforcement of any law for use in the discharge of their official duties,

nope, that exemption only applied to items restricted under 12020. switchblades were not restricted under 12020. but were under 653k in the old PC.

12020(b)(12) ...

No.

That's now PC 17730. That would only exempt items in 16590 (which isn't the statute banning switchblades > 2" )

Note in particular 16590(l) for an example of a way you would already be using 17730 as an exemption.

17730. The provisions listed in Section 16590 do not apply to any
of the following:
(a) The sale to, possession of, or purchase of any weapon, device,

shotgun, by any federal, state, county, city and county, or city

discharge of its official duties.
(b) The possession of any weapon, device, or ammunition, other
than a short-barreled rifle or short-barreled shotgun, by any peace

officer is on duty and the use is authorized by the agency and is
within the course and scope of the officer's duties.
(c) Any weapon, device, or ammunition, other than a short-barreled
rifle or a short-barreled shotgun, that is sold by, manufactured by,
exposed or kept for sale by, possessed by, imported by, or lent by,

If regular stores could sell glocks for $400 to cops, wouldn't they all do it?

More shops used to have Blue Label Pricing but Glock found out a percentage of shops were taking advantage of it "Selling blue label glocks to LEO/Military full price and pocketing the rest of the money" and they "glock" are more strict about blue label shops.

California Penal Code 17515, 2012 edition, is a peace officer exemption for possession of prohibited weapons. It has to be authorized for the enforcement of law or ordinance in any city or county. This means that each officer will have to check with their individual agency's policies to see if they can or not. It seems to be okay for officers to carry prohibited weapons as long as they have permission from their agency. I don't understand why people get their panties in a bunch over LEO's carrying weapons the general public can't have. Ease up.
